Discord/Twitter/Instagram/Fediverse

Creating a digital footprint is essential to showing your personality. Having a bio/description of yourself, syncing your socials, putting your experience in your title (ACM President, Furry, etc.) can all present ways in which you can stand out from the crowd.

Personal portfolio website (1/2)

Allows to portray your software developer abilities beyond resume:

Showcase experience + technical skills + projects in a interactive fashion
Create your own story! Your resume can be wordy or it can be completely

full of images. Design it the way that it best represents who you are as a person

Your website should consist of projects, skills, contact information, experience, etc.

GitHub profile README.md (2/3)

It is possible to use GitHub Workflows to run a custom, 💅generative✨ GitHub profile README.md renderer program.

Workflow runs and scrapes required data to render new profile README.md document. Automatically update the file if new changes are detected.

github.com/diamondburned uses Bash to scrape data and render their README.md.

GitHub org

It is possible to create a GitHub org for your projects with a shared goal or group effort. GitHub orgs allow you to create repositories that are owned by a group rather than owned by an individual.

Use cases:

Clubs
Hackathon projects
Any situation that could benefit from having a GitHub org

Downsides:�Some GitHub features (e.g. draft PRs) become paid-only in repositories owned by orgs.
